"Why? Because it's January and you can't worry about it. I don't think we had a bad performance, but I didn't think anybody stepped up and had a big performance."

"It's likely that we have two teams from Europe. I'm not going to worry about it one way or the other."

"Some were hunches, others were potential, others, we have until June 12 and think we can turn this player around."

"A dominant team in sports is exciting, and it gives everybody something to shoot for. This year maybe there's a chance somebody could do that [in MLS]."

"He's an extremely graceful athlete. He's a player with an excellent first touch and great vision. He has very good attacking qualities. But we've seen him in what I would call an amateur level."

"I think she's a ball player. She does a good job of using her body to get positions. She also sees the floor very well, and I think she's one of our better passers in the post position."

"I think we've finally figured out how to play 40 minutes of great basketball."

"In watching her with her AAU team, she had the ability to score away from the basket as well as underneath. One of the biggest things is her nose for the ball. Rebounding is something that just comes natural for her. She has great timing. She's a quick jumper, and she plays hard."

"They're going to be highly remembered, probably the most remembered, because it's really the first class that's been through with me in coaching for four solid years. When you look at where they've started and where they've come, I'm proud of them."

"I've got four senior starters who remember playing against New Mexico and know it's going to take disciplined basketball to beat them, but I don't really have any one star who will take over that game."

"We corrected a big no-no from the Georgia game in taking care of the basketball."

"The first two minutes of the second half were key to taking control of the game."

"I have to compliment my team because they kept their composure when our outside shots weren't falling. They did what they needed to do to get the win. We're thrilled to have the opportunity to go back to the hotel tonight and prepare for Kentucky and not have to pack our bags."

"I think that we've proven that on any given night, we can make a great competition and that gives our team a lot of confidence."

"We've been kind of squeezed in the middle there. For the women's game to have its own night gives the media time to give it sufficient coverage."

"I take full responsibility for that. The amount of legs that we used in the Mississippi State game and maybe pressing as hard as we did coming out against Kentucky ... I don't think we had the energy."

"She took our last loss very hard. But her numbers did not project the heart she played with. She knows that she's going to do better."

"You've got to play to stay. Starting in the tournament, you've got to set your goals and refocus."

"It's something our seniors will remember forever. But I hope also it's something our underclassmen can take and understand the hard work and dedication it took our seniors to get to where they are so they put that same amount of work in for years to come."

"I think it was another tough in-state rival game, very similar to the one we had up in Tallahassee."

"Our players knew we wouldn't have a home game, and at this level you have to be ready to travel and win on the road."

"We came out a little flat but we hung in there, especially our defense in the second half. We may not be the most talented team, but we do hustle."

"I think they understand how important the game against Duke is if they want to achieve their goals, ... Duke is a very good football team, it's not like they offered any of our guys scholarships."

"There's a lot of guys on this team who could be captains. There's going to be far more leaders than two if we're going to be any good."
